The Khan-led FTC showed that U.S. fossil fuel execs conspired w/ OPEC to limit global oil supply, so they could raise prices & boost profits.
Biden did not use this scandal—Trump mega-donors making your life more expensive!—to his full advantage. Dems now have a second chance.

🚨THIS JUST HAPPENED: Last year, two oil CEOs were busted for conspiring with foreign governments to raise Americans' gas prices.
Then the pair of oil CEOs funneled cash to Trump's political machine.
Now Trump's regulators are ending their punishment. www.levernews.com/they-inflate...

In March, they asked the Ferguson-led FTC to lift restrictions Khan's team had imposed on them.
Ferguson has taken steps to oblige them.

Ferguson is heeding the Trump donors' requests to backtrack.
Dems must seize the chance to amplify this scandal and explain the sources of rising costs.
